Beijing has labeled Washington, D.C., the “true empire of lies” as it dismissed allegations contained in a new report by the U.S. State Department.
“‘Some in the U.S. may think that they can prevail in the information war as long as they produce enough lies. But the people of the world are not blind’, China’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Saturday. It added that ‘more and more people in the world’ are seeing through America’s ‘ugly attempt to perpetuate its supremacy’ with lies.
The U.S. has a long history of manipulation and disinformation campaigns, the ministry continued, citing a number of examples spanning from the early Cold War period to the present day.
‘The U.S. Department of State report is in itself disinformation, as it misrepresents facts and truth’.
The report alleged that Beijing has been spending billions each year to wage an elaborate misinformation campaign worldwide.
‘Beijing uses false or biased information to promote positive views of the PRC and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). At the same time, the PRC suppresses critical information that contradicts its desired narratives on issues such as Taiwan, its human rights practices, the South China Sea, its domestic economy, and international economic engagement’, according to the report.
However, Beijing’s alleged efforts have had only a limited impact worldwide, and China has experienced ‘major setbacks’ while trying to target ‘democratic’ countries, it claims. It attributed the purported failure of the alleged misinformation efforts to civil society and local media, which it said were well-developed in the ‘democratic’ countries that were targeted”. -RT
Two of the three leading national powers in the world are not only openly opposing the neoliberal rules-based new world order, but the Sino-Russian alliance is directly calling out the forces ruling the West as an “Empire of Lies” for both promulgating disinformation and concealing the truth in the attempt to justify and uphold its imperial doctrine.
“We stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment. The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to move toward a historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective — a new world order — can emerge: a new era — freer from the threat of terror, stronger in the pursuit of justice, and more secure in the quest for peace”. -Excerpt of U.S. President George H.W. Bush's speech before a joint session of Congress on September 11th, 1990
